VideoGamer.com Analysis

Medal of Honor Warfighter claiming the No.1 spot is good PR for EA's critically panned shooter, but actual sales figures will determine if the title is deemed a success or failure.

We fully expect Assassin's Creed 3 to claim the No.1 spot this time next week, but the Top 5 could well be bursting with new entries including Football Manager 2013, Need for Speed Most Wanted and WWE 13.

I think half of the reason (and problem) Medal of Hono(u)r did so well was because most publications only got review code within a day before release. By the time a lot reviews had gotten out about the game being bad, pre orders had probably already been shipped. I doubt it was all the customers fault to blame in this case.

I'm fairly sure if reviews had gotten out earlier (and if EA weren't so sneaky) MoH:WF probably wouldn't of done so well...

Probably sold pretty badly and it looks like it deserved it. I'm not saying Call of Duty deserves 20m+ sales a year, but at least the biggest gaming audience is still somewhat discerning about quality.

I played MoH 2010 and it was dire. EA should forget about this genre and do something else. They have no hope of making a dent in Call of Duty's mind share after the last few after the last few half-arsed attempts they've made.

Very bad news for gamers.

EA get away with releasing a broken game again and they will do their crime once again methinks.
